Jesus was a carpenter and He worked with a saw and a hammer
And His hands could join a table true enough to stand forever
And He could have live his life out in the little town of Nazareth
But He put aside His tools and He walked the burning highways
And to certain people He said "Follow me"
And He found them as they wandered through the wild Judean mountains
And He found them as they pulled their nets upon the Sea of Galilee
And for a thousand evenings as the day behind Him emptied
He walked among the poor and He stopped to touch the dying
And He built His house for folks like you and me
